The European Commission has awarded the Novel Explorations Pushing Robust e-VLBI Services project (NEXPReS) funds to advance data transfer, buffering, storage and distributed computing technologies. The improvements are expected to significantly enhance electronic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (e-VLBI) services offered by the European VLBI Network (EVN) to the entire radio astronomy community and, it is hoped, to benefit science research infrastructure across fields. This work is part of the EVN's "e-EVN Programme" of e-VLBI developments, officially recognised as a SKA Pathfinder Technology for its anticipated impact on the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), as well as the recently inaugurated LOw Frequency Array (LOFAR).
